116 North Rockingham Avenue
Los Angeles 24, California
Dear Mr. Schoenberg:
I wish to acknowledge and thank you immediately for your letter of 31
August. As I remember our previous correspondence, we both arranged to send to
you the requested score of your Opus 16 with onion-skin paper on each page, and
then you wrote to me that you are at present unable to enter your changes in
this score. Answering the questions contained in the fourth paragraph of your
letter of 31 August:
(1) As mentioned previously, I will be only too happy to print your
newly revised score as soon as you send it to me.
(2) The copyright will be taken out in the name of C. F. Peters Corpora-
tion.
(3) Inasmuch as you have complete confidence in the ability of your
pupil (Mr. Richard Hoffmann from New Zealand) to make the necessary changes
under your name, such an arrangement is perfectly agreeable with me. However,
“a fee to be paid to Mr. Hoffmann“ is, I believe, a personal matter between
yourself and Mr. Hoffmann since he will be performing work for you at your own
request.
(4) Concerning your share, I am more than happy to have you participate
on a 25-percent (twenty-five percent) basis on all royalties collected – with
the understanding that I will pay for the printing of the score and for making
orchestra material with the revision available on a rental basis.
For one hundred and fifty years, the owners of Peters Edition have lived
and worked in harmony with their distinguished composers and editors, and my
sincere aim is to continue this policy.
With kindest personal regards, and with heartiest congratulations on the
occasion of your seventy-fifth birthday on September thirteenth, I remain with
great esteem
Cordially yours,
C. F. PETERS CORPORATION
